Very sorry to bother you, Juggledad. I am an amateur at this, and not a website designer. Just trying to learn by doing, and from the wisdom of others like you in this forum, which has been very helpful.

If my question was inappropriate or too uninformed for the forum, I apologize.

I will continue trying to research this on my own, but so far have not a clue.

Again, my apologies if this forum is for those more experienced in website design.

Thank you very much for your graciousness and patience, and for the very helpful advice you have previously given me on other questions in this forum! I appreciate it.

No problem I just wanted see if you could find the error.
1) CSS has two parts selectors and rules and it would look like this
selector {rule1; rule2; etc} the '{}' are very important.
2) if you have two selectors that are the same with the same rule, the second rule will superceed the first.

But, when I try to add the background image url (as show in my first post), the background image appears, but the rest of the background is #111111, with no gradient.

Sorry, but I still don't understand.

(sorry for misreading, I have a head cold)
I believe the issue is that with CSS3, the gradients are the background-image so you get eithor the image or the gradient. Do a google search on 'css background gradient' and read about it.
